Chapter 56 54. Don't... do it here
Above the sky, a cloud coalesced into the character for "Zhen" and another into the character "Xue," looking like some sort of spectacle, enough to make any young girl's heart flutter uncontrollably upon seeing it.
Zhen Dan thought so, and he was very confident about this scene.
And when he pointed to the spectacle that had formed by chance in the sky and asked Liu Ruoxue for her feelings, he indeed heard her answer.
"Indeed... it's beautiful."
Behind him came Liu Ruoxue's voice, slightly trembling, as if struggling to hold back.
Was she moved to tears? Experience exclusive tales on empire
A wave of unimaginable ecstasy surged through Zhen Dan's heart.
He forcibly suppressed the urge to turn around, reminding himself not to be too hasty, to take it slow. For someone with a reserved nature like Liu Ruoxue, if she were caught off guard and someone saw her unexpectedly girlish side, her first reaction would definitely be shame and anger.
They had only met a few times and were not yet familiar; he couldn't be too eager.
Zhen Dan pretended to be oblivious, while behind him, Liu Ruoxue bit her lip hard, clenched her fists, her hair a disheveled mess, her florid complexion faded, and her snow crystal pupils slightly dispersed.
Her pupils contracted, she straightened her body, and clenched her teeth.
Liu Ruoxue had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Liu Ruoxue was momentarily stunned, looking lost.
She breathed hurriedly a few times, and her trembling legs gradually recovered.
This can't go on.
Just as she parted her lips to say goodbye...
A voice suddenly floated down from the heavens.
"Senior sister!"
Liu Ruoxue's heart skipped a beat, immediately sensing an ominous premonition.
She took a deep breath, steadied her heart, forcefully suppressing that voice, and looked toward where it had come from.
The person who had arrived was none other than Fang Yuan, whom Xu Yuan had transformed into.
He had appeared, but what was his intention?
In her heart, Liu Ruoxue knew that Xu Yuan must have been watching the whole time.
His sudden appearance definitely meant he had some plan in mind.
Zhen Dan was also somewhat baffled, but after Fang Yuan landed, she said to him with a beaming smile, "Sorry to interrupt, senior brother. I just need to speak with senior sister for a moment, then I'll leave."
The displeasure in his heart mysteriously dissipated quite a bit.
At least she seemed polite, and besides, her relationship with Liu Ruoxue seemed to be quite good; otherwise, Liu Ruoxue probably wouldn't have told her about this place.
Zhen Dan was aware that although he did not need to deliberately please such close female friends, he shouldn't offend them either. Otherwise, if one of them whispered something into Liu Ruoxue's ear, that would make his life difficult.
Xu Yuan did not hurry to speak with Liu Ruoxue. Instead, he walked to the edge of the cliff with feigned surprise as if he had discovered some significant secret, and exclaimed in a crisp voice, "Wow! The clouds in the sky have formed the characters 'Zhen' and 'Xue.' Senior sister, look how romantic senior brother is."
Zhen Dan felt a touch of pleasure in his heart.
This comment was clearly a compliment for him. It seemed that her fondness for him might not be bad, otherwise, she wouldn't be helping his cause.
He had been worried about how to subtly let her know that these clouds were a formation of his feelings.
Liu Ruoxue's reaction to her was not nearly as friendly; she glared at Fang Yuan, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with anger, and transmitted her voice, "What are you doing here?"
"Isn't this because... the fairy can't say it out loud, so I came to help you?"
Xu Yuan gave her a look that was both mocking and amused.
"Damn it... Silver Demon, if it weren't for your... constant distractions, would I have been at a loss for words?"
Liu Ruoxue bit her silver teeth lightly, her breath quickened, and her chest heaved violently once, then she glared at him fiercely again.
As she spoke, her pretty face was already flushed with a deep blush, her hair disheveled, and that glare almost had no killing power. Instead, it carried a sense of allure, as if she were on the verge of dripping charm.
"Then let me make up for my mistake now,"
Xu Yuan said, smiling and transmitting his voice.
However, what he called making up for his mistake was suddenly to say aloud, "Senior Sister, your hair is a mess, let me help you fix it."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"No... ah~"
Liu Ruoxue was about to refuse.
But the bead that had been stable suddenly jumped violently, causing her to cry out involuntarily.
Hearing that cry, different from her usual cool and detached tone, Zhen Dan's heart skipped a beat with wild joy in his heart.
This junior sister was truly his lucky star.
If he had time, he should find an opportunity to thank her properly.
Otherwise, how could he have heard such a suggestive voice?
It was really unimaginable that Liu Ruoxue would let out such a sound.
Zhen Dan dared not look back, afraid of seeing something he shouldn't have seen.
Meanwhile, behind him, Xu Yuan sat next to Liu Ruoxue, smiling as he watched her furious, teeth-clenched expression.
At this moment, her eyes already held a hint of shimmering tears.
"Don't..."
The steadfast luster in Liu Ruoxue's beautiful eyes had vanished, and in the sudden, heart-striking attack, she had been momentarily stunned and instantly subdued by Xu Yuan.
If she dared to use her Spiritual Power, the next moment, her Dantian would be destroyed by the burst of Spiritual Power in the palm pressed against her abdomen. Thus, she dared not use her Spiritual Power.
At this time, his other hand was toying with the Jade Belt at her waist. With just a light pull, the elaborate gown wrapped around her would come undone.
"Don't... here."
Liu Ruoxue bit her lip, her cheeks, originally as white as snow, now flushed with crimson, her eyes pleading, while her soft, white hands tightly grasped his.
Unbeknownst to her, her usually cool and indifferent self, now suddenly displaying a vulnerable look, not only did it not help her pleadings, but it would hasten her destruction instead.
At this moment, her mind was completely in disarray, especially with her Dao Companion in name nearby, yet here she was with another man doing... such things. The only feelings left in her heart were shame and humiliation, with none of her previous cool detachment.
Xu Yuan's gaze was casually fixed on the girl before him, her eyes misty and cheeks flushed like peach blossoms.
If it had been before, the current Liu Ruoxue would have fought with him to mutual destruction, but now, her attitude had changed.
And this change was due to the Blood Tea from yesterday and his behavior during this period.
He laughed, his hand holding the Jade Belt suddenly exerting force.
"No!"
Liu Ruoxue cried out in despair, closing her eyes in pain.
But the anticipated coolness did not come. Instead, a tighter sensation wrapped around her.
He had tightened her clothes for her.
Liu Ruoxue opened her eyes in disbelief, only to see Xu Yuan's mocking smile.
If it had been before, she would have glared back fiercely, but now, all she had was the relief of having escaped disaster and... inexplicable gratitude for his mercy?
